The EA Infrastructure Fund has historically attempted to make strategic grants to incubate and grow projects that attempt to use reason and evidence to do as much good as possible.
These include meta-charities that fundraise for highly effective charities doing direct work on important problems, research organizations that improve our understanding of how to do good more effectively, and projects that promote principles of effective altruism in contexts like academia. The EA Infrastructure Fund was formerly named the Effective Altruism Meta Fund.
The Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund recommends grants that aim to improve the work of projects that use the principles of effective altruism, by increasing their access to talent, capital, and knowledge.
While the other three Funds support direct work on various causes, this Fund supports work that could multiply the impact of direct work, including projects that provide intellectual infrastructure for the effective altruism community, run events, disseminate information, or fundraise for effective charities.
This will be achieved by supporting projects that: Directly increase the number of people who are exposed to principles of effective altruism, or develop, refine or present such principles Support the recruitment of talented people who can use their skills to make progress on important problems Aim to build a global community of people who use principles of effective altruism as a core part of their decision-making process when deciding how they can have a positive impact on the world Conduct research into prioritizing between or within different cause areas Raise funds or otherwise support other highly-effective projects Improve community health by promoting healthy norms for interaction and discourse, or assist in resolving grievances This includes a broad range of projects in global wellbeing (including animal welfare), longtermism, as well as cause-general work.

‘Infrastructure’ refers to the idea that creating additional resources and support to projects aiming to improve the world can multiply this impact. Donating to improve the infrastructure available to effective projects (instead of to the projects carrying out this work directly) is sometimes called 'meta charity'.
Three of the best opportunities to multiply impact (of which we are currently aware) are through improving the quality and quantity of talent, information and capital available to solve the world’s biggest problems.
Why you might choose not to donate to this fund 01 You don’t agree with the rationale for the Fund, or the views of the Fund management team 02 You have concerns about conflicts of interest or grantmaker independence The main reason you might choose not to donate to this fund is if you do not agree with the views of the fund management team.
For example, you may not be convinced of the arguments in favour of supporting meta charities, or you may want to donate only to a select subset of meta charities. In particular, you may prefer that your money go directly toward helping others, with as little ambiguity as possible.

The Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF), one of four funds managed by Effective Ventures Foundation through EA Funds, makes grants addressing global catastrophic risks with a primary focus on advanced artificial intelligence safety and alignment. Funding priorities include: technical AI safety and alignment research (interpretability, scalable oversight, alignment theory, evaluations); AI governance and policy analysis; researcher training and career transitions into AI safety; biorisk and pandemic prevention; existential risk identification and mitigation; longtermist institutional design; and infrastructure supporting work on civilizational resilience. The fund accepts rolling applications without fixed deadlines, processing applications in batches with decisions typically within one to three months. About half of LTFF funding originates from Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy), with additional donor support. Funded projects span independent research grants for graduate students and post-PhD researchers, conference and workshop funding, training and upskilling stipends, and small organizations advancing AI safety research and policy work. The fund is particularly open to unconventional projects, early-career researchers, and applicants without institutional affiliations who can articulate clear theories of impact for reducing existential risk.
The AI Risk Mitigation Fund (ARM Fund) provides grants towards technical research, policy, and training programs for new researchers focused on reducing catastrophic risks from advanced artificial intelligence. Launched in December 2023, the ARM Fund supports projects across three core focus areas: technical AI alignment research, AI policy and governance, and building research capacity in AI safety fields. The fund targets researchers and organizations developing practical approaches to mitigating risks from increasingly capable AI systems, including work on alignment techniques, interpretability, evaluation methods, and governance frameworks. Recent grantees include leading researchers at the University of Cambridge, Centre for the Governance of AI, Oregon State University, and Leap Laboratories. The ARM Fund is a project of Effective Ventures Foundation, positioning it within the broader effective altruism ecosystem of AI safety funding. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is a grant from NVIDIA providing up to $60,000 per award to PhD students conducting research that advances accelerated computing and its applications.

Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
CalSEED Concept Award is a grant from the California Energy Commission that provides $150,000 in funding to early-stage clean energy innovators in California. The program targets individuals, businesses, and nonprofits developing hardware, software, or integrated solutions at Technology Readiness Levels 2-4. Eligible technology areas rotate each cycle and have included battery recycling and reuse, long-duration energy storage, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, industrial electrification, and advanced EV charging. Applicants must be located in California, have under $1 million in private funding, and propose innovations that benefit California ratepayers. Concept Award winners also receive professional development resources and access to accelerator programs, and may compete for a subsequent $450,000 Prototype Award.
On May 29, 2026, OMB and 41 agencies proposed the most consequential rewrite of the Uniform Guidance in a decade — pre-issuance political review of every discretionary award, near-unlimited termination authority, E-Verify mandates, domestic-records rules, and new activity prohibitions. Comments close July 13; the final rule takes effect October 1 for FY2027 awards. Here is what actually changes, who is exposed, and the compliance posture recipients need now.
Read articleOMB and 40-plus agencies want to convert the Uniform Guidance into a binding 'Uniform Grants Regulation' — adding political pre-award review, sweeping termination authority, mandatory E-Verify, and bans on DEI and foreign collaboration. Comments close July 13, 2026; the rule takes effect October 1. Here is what actually changes for nonprofits, universities, and state and local governments, why the termination language is the part to read twice, and how to prepare before the fall.
Read articleOn June 1, 2026, DARPA and the National Science Foundation jointly released the AI Forge initiative — a university-only forum, administered by a nonprofit launching summer 2026, that will fund Project Ventures of roughly $750,000 to $3 million over one-year terms in three thrust areas: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on SAM.gov closes June 22 at 5pm ET and is restricted to U.S. universities and military service academies, one authorized submission per institution. Intellectual property is expected to be shared across forum participants, preferably through open-source licensing. This is the most significant joint DARPA-NSF research vehicle in a decade, and it is structured to bypass the frontier-lab model entirely.
